A West Penn Township police officer was airlifted after being injured during a traffic stop this evening (Wednesday, September 2, 2015) along West Penn Pike (SR309) on the Blue Mountain. Other online news articles identify the officer as Sergeant Melissa “Missy” Ruch.

State Police stated she was assaulted while approaching a disabled vehicle. The incident occurred around 5:30 PM near the top of the mountain.

Police are still looking for a Hispanic male, 6’2″ to 6’4″ tall, 240-260 pounds, wearing dark t-shirt, tattoo under one eye, blue jeans that go below your knees, and possibly in a dark-colored Nissan Maxima with license plate (FUK 1011 or FUK 0011) that might have been painted over.

I don’t see how that letter combination would be approved by any state DMV! ;)

Cops are going to get even more trigger-happy, and I can’t blame them.
